Review- American Girls in Red Russia: Chasing the Dream. http://www.europenowjournal.org/2017/12/05/american-girls-in-red-russia-chasing-the-dream-by-julia-l-mickenberg/ Julia Mickenberg’s American Girls in Red Russia, touches on such diverse topics as American women’s participation in pre-1917 revolutionary movements, famine relief in during the Civil War period, the creation of an American colony in Siberia, the establishment of an American-run English language newspaper in Moscow, modern dance, African-American theater and film performances, and creating pro-Russian World War II propaganda. These disparate subjects are unified by a central theme: American women, from various cultural spheres, seeking the equality and freedom they thought redefined gender roles in the Soviet Union would give them. Check out the review and the book, its a great read on a little studied topic!
